FaizalAzwin's Special Syawal Ft. Fawwaz!

First week of Raya this year was in KL again, why not in Sabah? Well, according to hubby it's only fair that we celebrate aidilfitri at my parents house now that all 3 of us are living & residing in KK, every weekend we're at my in-laws too. And of course I have no complains there! HEHE (untung dapat laki super considerate ni). Raya ke-5 we were already back to kk.

Well, like last years raya was special coz it was our first time celebrating as husband & wife, this year was double special coz we have our baby to dress up & collect duit raya! (last year dia dlm perut lagi)..baju melayu nekma dia dah beli spasang & i found him a ready made peach coloured baju for 1st day raya theme, besar sket so tepaksa malam raya tu tahan jahit sleeves & pants dia haha.

This year ada jugak last minute stuff to buy at jalan TAR (as usual) and I did the crazy thing and went at 2am pagi raya. RAMAI GILA ORANG! never again i tell u! haha, of coz i didnt bring my baby. boleh tak orang lain tahan bawak baby kecik, bersesak2, plus ada yang bawak stroller lagi, hello sempit kot, ingat ni sama macam jalan2 kat the mall ke? ok salah aku coz xsempat cari tudung tuk mama, resulting in me going to jalan TAR wif my soldiers (my bro's yang teman, hubby jaga kreta je *konon*). 

Fawwaz was super good in the flite to & from KL, only he has gotten just ALOT more active & playful so mummy n daddy melayan tu jela. Paling best flying back to KK he made a huge *investment* just as we were boarding, so xsempat nak cuci at the airport coz we were already running late, thus naik je airplane trus g toilet & changed his diapers before we took off. hahah. really felt like amazing race!

Well here is us and our Syawal :)

1st Raya with our active Amsyar (yang cergas),

A Great Joy Came :)

Alhamdulillah, me & hubby received the greatest gift on April 1st. 

A healthy & kicking (literally!) bundle of joy, our baby boy :)

Assalamualaikum & Hi! My name is 
Fawwaz Amsyar Bin Mohd Faizal

Aween the Batwoman; with a growing bump :D

kejap jerh, this week dah the third week of my master's classes ;p assignment dah due every week! macam tak leh keep track dah. waaaaarghhh. highlights of the past 2 weeks are:-


1) had a 2 day introduction course/talks in the first week (9am-5pm) and have classes start straightaway that nite (7pm-10pm) that was TIRING


2) classes had started right away, every nite from monday-friday (T_T) and saturday evening, 3 hrs per class. hence. i've become batwoman! only coming out at nite. oh i do feel that my skin is much more brighter than it used to be. hehe


3) assignments are poring in. apparently normal assignments require minimum 15-20 journals as references. erkk. fyi, reading educational material+aween=SLEEP


4) hubby has been going to the gym more regularly while waiting for my classes to be over. hehe. at least something good is coming out of this


5) got some new friends i made from my classes & still bangga-hidung-kembang when they are shocked to find out im married (dorg ingat aku kawin muda!), perasan awet muda totally gives boost to my adrenalin haha :D so trying to act as if im still an undergrad by dressing like them , but its getting harder when my tummy is starting to show...........thus the 'other' important update:

I'm Preggers :)

(pray for us xoxo)

believe me, it took me this long to hold my stories in my blog, that means it took me that long to sink in the fact i have a miracle growing in my belly. to be fair i'm starting to jot everything about my journey in the good old traditional diary= a hardcover book. 


but i'll be sharing the funny stories of how i had a lecture from the doctor on the birds and bees (becoz i was sooo in denial-x pecaye hehe) and little updates of si junior yang pandai isap jari nih, when i have the time. which i have alot of, but i have to dedicate that to assignments and television and movies and going out with husband hehe (yes please hate the unemployed-by-choice me, but im really happy!)


i dont have the facebook ticker-weekly updates becoz why would i want to remind most of the 600 ppl on fb (excluding those that have hidden me in their newsfeed, so maybe that would leave about 20 ppl) how junior is growing each week? im just not that into reporting to everyone, same as how i feel about telling your facebook community where u are every hour~ish, dorg ni x takut stalkers ke?


yeah2 cakap lebat, aku bukan condemn org yang buat, tapi aku kat sini announcing preggers, same jugak kan. hehe. in a way i know most of my readers are total strangers and the ones that do know me have their own extra effort to know whats going on in my life ye tak. hmm or is it preggers over-hormones speaking


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, im going to KL next week. Alhamdulillah pasal my parents are going to perform Hajj this year. me being the eldest, OF COZ, i worry about my 5 little rascals (even tho dah x brape little dah). camne dorg nak makan minum, kemas rumah? oh, my telephone bill is going up this following month calling them every single day.


Im hoping my parents gain their Haji Mabrur, dipermudahkan urusan & perjalanan and of course stay healthy and happy till they come back to us in December :) InsyaAllah

KL Reception [021010] : The Details (2)

haha, and when you think all of this is over, 

yet again comes another KL wedding entry,

kalu tak tulis semua ni aku akan lupaaaa ..

FAMILY THEME

once i had confirmed me & syg were wearing light grey for our reception, maka i wanted my family to wear the same (bigger family were already told they can choose to wear either pink or grey or both).

for the record, ada wedding tips that i had read in blogs & magazines said that its better that your family is wearing a different colour than the bride & groom. supaya tak "tenggelam". actually btul sgt point tu, tapi dalam kes aku, i dont mind tenggelam with my parents and siblings. aku mmg NAK kitorg sedondon on our day :) ikut selera masing2 rite

kain light grey kami telah diborong di Jakel, sumpah if nak lagi murah beli kat Nagoya, tapi masa ni alang2 nak cari kain lace tuk mama & wina, kami borong ja sekaligus. RM14/m. haih, mahal gak kain satin ni, tp kain tebal & berkualiti la kot..

alololooo, comel nya mamaaaaa

(kat blakang tu pekerja jakel keee? eyh, wina buncet rupenye)

we (me & wina) finally decided to buy mama this ^

suh mama pilih, haih, duk tarik gak lace MERAH (her fav colour)

.penat aku layan. hahaha

yang ni plak ^ kain tuk wina



modelling sket kain lepas dah beli,

kurusnya model mama??

teeetttt, hakim jadi mangsa :D

ini gambo jejaka2 selepas kain jakel mereka

 telah siap dijahit di pasar datuk keramat

boleh la masa ko masih kurus & tegap awan ;p

our greyish clan

BRIDESMAIDS OUTFITS

muka masa ni aku memang mengaku, bridezilla habis! hehe

pasal aku beli 7 pasang aku dapat muraahh harga kain lace ni :)

sian makcik pekerja jakel tu yang aku duk berlakon banyak kali that aku taknak beli, me & my nego style could get me killed by a sales assistant someday. aku tau dorg sume mesti ckp aku kedekut/cheapskate gileee

ada aku kesah? hee

packing baju bridesmaids utk di-distribute

siap tanda nama setiap sorg

seb baik korg sempat siapkan baju masing2, heheh,

reminder aku sentiasa on sepanjang tahun tahu x?

(fyi, we live all over msia, oh and masa tu , sorg kat aussie, sorg kat UK)

*selendang hasil sponsor from Haida, jahitan sendiri (ohh, i got one toooo)*

SEGAK MALAY GROOMSMEN

alah alah alah..hencemnyeee, from left- jenal, fahmi, kaye

fahmi tak pkai baju guna kain yang aku bagi (x sempat nak buat), tapi aku kagum dia dpt cari baju pink to substitute it, heeee


lagi satu set kain satin baju melayu to forever forever buddy karon lo chun chet (klcc) hehehe, first time pkai baju melayu penuh dgn sampin! hencemmmnyeeeee jugak ;)

WEDDING OUTFIT

al-kisah dari awal, ada terfikir nak tempah baju custom-made, tapi nda jadi, pasal i know aku akan fikir byk sgt smpai stress and i have no idea whatsoever in fashion and i suck at pilih kain/design baju sendri, maka di atas nasihat kengkawan yg lebih berpengalaman aku mmg tekad cari baju di bridal shj :)

i went to a lot of bridals, ALOT.

if dorg takde baju light grey, aku trus cancel,

dorg ada cadang boleh buatkan aku baju baru,

tapi mahaaaal, out of my budget

hunting punye hunting,

pegi melawat butik,

nampak kain ni tergantung

light grey

takde beading lagi

aku tanye aunty bridal tu dia plan nak buat cmne baju tu?

aunty tu plan nak jahit manik light pink

KEBETULAN YANG MENGEMBIRAKAN

thus terus lah testing2

 

erk, fitting yang selebet & muka penat (belum alter ni)

baju syg pulak, of coz totally buat baru,

mmg secara logic pun xde bridal yang ada baju saiz dia. hahahaha

so syg dpt baju baru, utk tambahan RM150 sahaja

yang penting warna tersangat match dgn baju aku

WEDDING SHOES

kasut ku di nose pavvillion sahaja. suka. hari sanding, by the time dah kul 4.50pm-5pm bru sakit kaki :D good shoes! i love you!

THE RECEPTION HALL

I booked my wedding hall a year in advance! check out my previous post for those details.

thus one of my compulsory points in my 'things-to-do' list menjelang july 2010 is to check out the hall & draw out the hall area& all its facilities :)

oh selingan, i also drew up my own map to the hall, try google kat internet jumpa google maps jeh, luckily mama had a friend who was having her daughters wedding at ampang hilir so i used their map as a basis. Utk bakal pengantin yang nk guna gemalasari as ur wedding hall, here is the map i jotted down wif wina while on the way back to work (ye, my office seblah tabung haji tu je) heh

ada gps koordinat juga,

triple zillion times aku check nak make sure betul :D

dalam lift

first things first, aku check facilities yang ada.

Item No. 1: ada surau yang luas
 (senang utk my family & guests to pray & berehat)

surau is on the same level as the dewan

tempat ambil wuduk (lelaki)

Item No. 2: stage tuk pelamin

-kat dewan ni ada dua pentas,

gambar kat bawah ni is pentas yang besar,

masuk je pintu dewan nampk trus,

the other stage tu kecik sket and ke blakang dewan,

ada gak or buat pelamin kat situ tp dia agak tersorok sket

Item No. 3: Meja pengantin

Item No. 4: Parking

ni gambar parking VIP kat depan bangunan

ini gambar sesaje tangkap, facade of RISDA

okeyh, penat dah tempek gambar,

if korang berminat nak sewa dewan gemalasari kat bangunan risda,

 jln ampang nih, just email me at zephyred_tiara@hotmail.com wokeh.

can give u the details of their package

-since dulu aku cuba google info psl dewan ni xbyk jumpa link,

 so i share my experience :)

Outdoor Weekends (ending 2010)

Qasih Harmoni (Family Day): 3rd-5th December 2010

Had quite a full-weekend December, and im loving the fact that i have activities to fill my usually sleep & snooze away weekends. hehehe. Well, first week of December, I was off on the plane again to KK. This time for my father-in-laws family day/gathering. time to mingle with the bigger family :)


reached KK on the last flite out (around 12.30am next day), still sleepy from work but happy to see my hubby's hidung mancung & he dragged me to eat at McD. haaaaaaaaaah, tq for always ensuring i shall get fatter :p


next day we were packed and ready for the first leg of our family day, bowling at 1Borneo. Aween+Faizal=first time not so good bowlers :D hahahah, agak menyedihkan that most of our aims ended up in the longkang, thus pasangan suami isteri ini made a vow to make bowling one of our activities after this , hehe..owh, lupa, we were divided into four different groups, syg being head of the blue team, me assistant for team red :D bersaing again!

after sweating it out at the bowling alley, ktorg ramai2 gerak ke Mimpian Jadi Golf Resort at Tuaran (around 28km north from KK), so sampai sana pun dah senja dah


After dinner, our next group binding activity was win lose or draw, mesej berantai (klakar gile game nih) bahasa syarat & kerusi beracun (for the kids), we had a freaking fun nite !

hubby acting out for his team

me & my cool team in win lose or draw

hari sukaneka ni semua wajib pkai baju ikut warna rumah

and aween yg tak cukup baju bwk dr kl could only come up wif pink..

MERAH JAMBU (merah la jugak kan, hehs)

tarik upeh, amek dari umah bapak mertua ku

closing nite, terima hadiah on behalf of red team,

tempat ketiga, well better than syg's team

 dpt tempat paling uncit (last) heheh

group photo!!

dan of coz aktiviti kegemaran FaizalAzwin, merepek!

gali-gali

XPDC Endau Rompin: 11th-12th December 2010

Our office Recreation & Sports Club orgaized a 4-wheel adventure into Endau-Rompin , Taman Negara. Maj my darl girlfriend put in my name and i love her so much for that (tempat sgtla terhad nak join weh)

for a mere payment of RM90 (inclusive activities, transport, food  and accomodation for 2 days 1 nite) we had a great weekend, oh, harga normal RM300/person but of coz our office subsidized ;)

had an early breakfast at Pelita before gathering at the office to pack orselves into 2 vans as prepared by taman Negara. After around 3++ hours we arrived at the office of Taman Negara where we stopped for a toilet break and loading ourselves into the 4 x 4 wheel drives :)

an hour of adventure through the 4 wheel road path

arriving at the 'pintu masuk' taman negara (entrance endau rompin)

group photo after arriving

then we had our lunch (which was cooked by a catering company that only came into the camp base when there were adventurers like us, hehe) and after unpacking our stuff to our 'pondoks' we were off on the first trekking trip to Takah Pandan

It was an-hour long hike to the waterfalls, and let me tell u, the path was steep gilaaaa, all it was, was up up up! agak kekejangan kaki jugak and out of breath (lama x trekking) but once we arrived..god..priceless ok, i would do it 10 times over again! (ok minus the nasty pacat that were swirming on to our bodies by the hundreds)

the steep climb

it was ultimately breathtaking

at first i didn't wanna dive in becoz i dind't bring any extra clothes to hike back to camp (takut my wet clothes would attract unwanted leeches hanging on) but after the girls persuaded me on what i would be missing out i just forgo all my worried and dived in with all my trekking pants ,hehe..the water was cold and fresh and it was damn relaxing..

the way back we crossed a few rivers

after hiking back, having our showers at the camp (memang ada proper showers and all) we gathered for dinner after maghrib and while waiting for dinner to be prepared we played with intelligent games made by the asli community there. sumpah susah ok, mind boggling la jugak

and also sempat tolong the aslis' anyam their fishing equipments, i really wove a few lines ok! hehe

after dinner it was time for our nite walk, we bought our torchlights but most of the time the jungle guides requested us to put them out, walking thru the thick rainforest at nite with all the weird animal sounds can freak u out a bit, but memang appreciate nature sesangatla

us taking a picture at the foot of an enourmous tree, we also got to see a lot of glow in the dark mushrooms and we brought some back to camp. going back to camp we headed bak to our huts and i slept like a baby in my snug sleeping bag till morning where we overslept and were almost left by the group!!

heee, trus me and kak lin lari pkai kasut and hangkut bag pegi hiking ikut dorg, we skipped brekfast but then the jungle guides came after us and handed us our packed mihun, baik gilaaaa

next trip was a longer one, 2hours one way on foot, to Takah Tinggi. it was tiring (mostly in our minds all the way was 'are we there yet? are we there yet?) but it was mostly trekking on flat track along the river, not as steep as the first one.

after eating our breakfast, we slipped in for a swim and dive :)

after berhuhaaa, we trekked the 2 hours back to camp, perut dah lapar tahap gadan, sampai2 terus amek nasi and lauk, didnt even bother to take off our trekking shoes yet, membiarkan pacat yang tegar tu bloodsuck for some extra time

our next activity (water based! my favourite!!)

the water tube trail!

tube water rafting! thrill gilaaaaa

after that me & maj swimming swimming sepenuh hati,

we are at heart beach bums

by the time all that was over we had to pack our bags for the ride back to kl

sebelum balik pose kat jambatan gantung

this is before i slept in the 4 wheel, penat gila, tp i had a hell of a neck pain after, pls dont try sleeping in a 4x4 when its drving on really bumpy tracks, hee

Cameron Highlands & Hubby's Birthday: 26th-27th December 2010

Out of pure luck and coincidence, syg's office had organized a course for some staff to be carried out in Cameron Highlands, jauh tak jauh dari kota kinabalu rite...and to make things so much more best gilaaa, the course fell exactly on hubby's birthday!! weeeee..rezeki btul rasenye, dapat flite tiket free pegi balik & spend hubby's first bday as husband & wife together, priceless ok!

thus syg signed up, and requested his office to get him an earlier tiket so he could lepak with me a little longer ;) on sunday we were up up and away to Tanah Rata.

blurred

we booked a room at Heritage jugak same as syg's colleges . 

bernasib baik , last minute ada empty room

2 singles became 1 doubles :)

after checking in it was adventure to the tea farms!!

sayang said 'we wear pink for strawberry!!'

then it was off to the bee, straberry farms in brinchang and tanah rata

our favourite ice-cream ever! RM5 je satu cup, fresh sweet strawberries in there ok!

nite stop we were at the nite market at brinchang, aku borong my favourite, cendawan gorenggg

anddd

our couple t-shirts ;)

ni gambar dah nak balik dah ni, syg bru habis his course so we continued our sight seeing till 6pm, this day was his bday, i originally wanted to get him some ray bans, but after the idea of him sitting on them, i decided to put that idea on hold and thus i gave him a real cool back-pack with lots of pockets (that he loves) and also a compartment for his lappy top :) oh plus the la senza suprise, hahah

i think it looked something like this

hope u liked ur bday prezziesss syg! ;)
